Carbon Literacy Perception Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study

Öz

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable instrument for assessing pre-service teachers’ carbon knowledge and climate awareness, behavioral tendencies toward carbon reduction, and carbon footprint responsibility. Following a scale-development design, an initial pool of 58 items developed through a literature review was evaluated by eight experts, resulting in a 54-item trial form. Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted with data from 300 pre-service teachers, whereas Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed on an independent sample of 310 pre-service teachers. The analyses revealed a 20-item, three-factor structure explaining 61.432% of the total variance. The factors were labeled “Carbon Knowledge and Climate Awareness,” “Behavioral Tendency toward Carbon Reduction,” and “Carbon Footprint Awareness and Responsibility.” Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated an acceptable model fit (χ²/df=1.787; RMSEA=.051; CFI=.941; TLI=.932; SRMR=.047). Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients for the overall scale were .917 and .920, respectively. The CR, AVE, and Fornell–Larcker results supported convergent and discriminant validity. It was concluded that the Carbon Literacy Perception Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing pre-service teachers’ perceptions of carbon literacy.
